Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Bhutan’s Fourth King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, in Thimphu on Wednesday and jointly inaugurated the Kalachakra Empowerment ceremony, marking a key moment in the deep spiritual and cultural ties between the two neighbouring countries.

The Kalachakra, one of the most revered and intricate rituals in Tibetan Buddhism, is being observed as a three-day empowerment ceremony aimed at conferring blessings and authorisations for advanced meditative practices leading toward enlightenment.

The ceremony forms part of the Global Peace Prayer Festival 2025, organised by the Royal Government of Bhutan from November 4 to 17. The event brings together spiritual leaders, monks, and peace advocates from around the world, promoting the message of global harmony and compassion.
